See David's many recent posts on this in the archives... but he's saying that leaving cylinders 1010-1040 unpartitions is a safe bet for most HDDs. I just did some testing and found my drive only writes a 35MB hibernatioon area around the 8.4GB boundry. By making a partition from cylinders 1010-1040, writing all the sectors there with 0s with Wipefree, and then going into hibernation, and back, I could used the WinHex editor to see where the hibernation data started and ended. Turns out my hibernation area was from approx. cylinders 1023-1027. This actually left a little room in front and after the hibernation area, resulting in a 39.2MB unpartitioned area of my Toshiba HDD. >Also, is there a way under Win2000 to merge the two resulting partitions >into a single drive? Haven't worked with W2000... but you can merge partitions with Partition Magic.
